The front lobby entrance is located on Jefferson Street, facing west towards Ninth Avenue. The pedestrian scaled podium and the set back of the lobby are designed to respect and compliment the existing campus buildings and the new Inpatient Expansion Building. This set back of the base structure at the corner of Ninth Avenue and Jefferson Street, allows the streetscape to be the primary interface with the community, reducing building scale at the street level and creating a safe and active public space.
